Communication is integral to the operations of any business, especially in the aerospace industry, where it can save or put lives at risk. Blue Origin states that safety is their top mission. Describe your communication skill by sharing all the tools you employ when communication breakdowns occur. Discuss your style towards nondefensive communication and how you adapt your style to others who are less-skilled communicators. Display your ability to actively listen, validate, mirror, and ensure the message sent is the message received. As Blue Origin says in their leadership principles, "Mission-driven leaders create and communicate a direction that inspires results, and their actions and attitudes are guided by "mission first."

"I am proud of my oral and written communication skills, but I believe there is always room to improve. My supervisor and co-workers will attest to my clear and concise communication skills. I understand how everyone on my team communicates and what it takes to get everyone on the same page. I am an open leader, celebrating transparency, and my team knows they can approach me if anything needs clarification."

I would rate my communication skills as an 8 but I strive to keep learning from others. Through regular engagement with cross-functional teams, I have successfully developed a strategy for extracting the most critical data required for key decision-maker reviews. I have received feedback that my summaries have allowed for ease of understanding of the issues.

Stephanie's Feedback
While an 8/10 is a solid ranking for communication skills, you don't clearly explain why you gave yourself an 8 instead of a 10. What growth areas do you currently have in the area of communication and what are you doing to improve? How do you plan to grow yourself from an 8/10 to a 10/10? Adding a few more details here will take this response up a notch!
